Friday’s Photo 4/17/16

April 17, 2015 by Adrienne

I think I’ll start a regular Friday post of funny photos(s) from my week. Today… We had three major toy catastrophes in the yard.

There was the dump truck mishap. Something must have caved under pressure.

The fire truck didn’t make it to the scene of the accident. It was the scene of the accident.

Finally, this tricycle didn’t make it out of the man[made] hole. From the look of that front tire, it’s not the first time.

It was a rough day in this world of play. But… today I was a successful lawnmower mechanic and then got the lawn mowed and trimmed. Still not sure how I managed to actually fix the mower. I thought I was going to have to call Blaine and tell him I’d made a thrown belt far worse when the whole deck belt contraption fell apart. I got it back together and miracle of all miracles, it worked! Don’t ask me to do that again. Not sure I could. I’m so confident of my skills I made the kids clear out of the whole yard before I started the blade. I had visions of it flying across the yard like a torpedo… and I hadn’t even touched the blade itself, just the belt that drives it. Confidence, I tell you.

    Gotta hand it to ya, that’s pretty good! I consider that I can do a lot of stuff but when the mower needs to be fixed, I let Jay tackle that. I’ve been cutting this week too. So thrilled I can (barely) to it with my still recovering sprained ankle! So what age do we start kids mowing? Actually, I like mowing. I’d rather them do the dishes and hang the laundry so I can go mow. hehe
    Yes, start a post of funny pictures from the week! Awesome kid games!
